Secure before flight
If flying with a motorized wheelchair or scooter, before allowing the crew to store your ride in the plane, make sure you remove or secure all items that can be detached easily to prevent loss or damage. We recommend removing the cushion, headrest, and thigh supports of the chair and placing them in a bag to carry on the plane.
